Mayor Defends Nativity Scene

Mayor Defends Nativity Scene

WHITEHALL, Ohio — The city's mayor geared up Friday for a fight to keep a nativity scene in front of the city hall building.

Whitehall Mayor John Wolfe said a nativity scene has been a staple of the city's Christmas display for 30 years, 10TV's Glenn McEntyre reported.

"It is very much a tradition in this community," Wolfe said, "And it will continue to be a tradition in this community."

According to Wolfe, the nativity scene captures the essence of Christmas.

"It's just the message of the season," Wolfe said. "We are a Christian country."

1. "It's just the message of the season," Wolfe said. "We are a Christian country."

No, we're not. Christianity is not the official state religion.
